This creates a pressure balanced system when combined with compartmentalization of the cavity. Gaskets and overlapped joints are used to discourage water from entering the cavity while still allowing ventilation of the cavity. The air space and insulation increase the thermal performance of the exterior wall system. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Chilled Beams on Dedicated Outside Air Chilled beams reduce the need for cooling by air, allowing the use of dedicated ventilation. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Heat Recovery Chiller Utilizes year-round cooling demands to generate heating water for HVAC use. Water use is also reduced at evaporative cooling towers. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Under Floor Displacement Ventilation Displacement ventilation limits cooling to the occupied area and takes advantage of natural air currents to improve environmental quality. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Daylighting, Lighting, and Controls Integrating Artificial & Natural Lighting: Automated reduction of artificial lighting in response to daylight conditions on both interior and exterior. Energy Efficient Lighting: Extensive use of CFL and selected use of LED lights reduce energy use from required lighting. Controls: Lighting Management System in public spaces. Extensive use of occupancy sensors and timer switches throughout the building. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Storm Water Management and Reclamation MODELING TO SOLUTIONS What Did NOT Apply & Why • Combined Heating and Power: Project Scale; Initial Cost • Photovoltaics: Irregular Roof Shape, Not Enough Roof Space • Thermal Massing: Building Façade, Cost • Natural Ventilation: Climate in Washington DC Area; Hot & Humid in Summer (Expand) MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Combined Heat and Power Utilize locally consumed fuel to simultaneously generate power. Requires sustained demand for heating to run a generator. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Photovoltaics Can be applied to rooftops, and emerging technology includes facades. Requires large amounts of real estate. MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Annual Energy Use Comparison Proposed Design vs. ASHRAE 90.1-2007 Baseline 35,000 Annual Energy Use (MMBtu/yr) 30,000 Fan Pump 25,000 Heat Rejection Cooling 20,000 Heating Lights 15,000 Receptacle 10,000 5,000 0 Baseline Proposed Design MODELING TO SOLUTIONS Lessons Learned • There is no one size fits all solution for a sustainable building. • Systems can work against each other, do not make decisions in isolation. • Be aware of the limitations of your energy model; complex systems cannot always be modeled out of the box. • Energy models are predictive of, but not guar • Try to minimize the glass area of the building. This project had 10% more glass allowed beyond Appendix G; which penalized the project of X energy points.
